My heart moved. Yes, since Li Xuxiang is Li Shigao's grandson, why didn't Li Shigao take Li Xuxiang back to Maoshan? Instead, he let Li Xuxiang live in his adoptive parents' home and asked me to accept him as his apprentice. Could something have happened in Maoshan? I looked at Li Shigao. Li Shigao didn't seem to want to hide it from me. He smiled at me and said, "Maoshan is in chaos now. My magic power is useless now, and I don't want Xiaoxiang to get involved in the muddy water of Maoshan. Visit to download txt novels..."
It turns out that the story started when Li Shigao first went to the island country. Before Li Shigao left the Celestial Empire, Maoshan was doing well and the management was in good order. The day after Li Shigao left, someone came to Maoshan and made a big fuss about Li Shigao's Taoism being abolished. The people of Maoshan certainly didn't believe it at the time, and even if the Taoism was abolished, so what? Li Shigao's cohesion in managing Maoshan was extremely strong, and his prestige was so high that people almost worshipped him. I dare say that at the most glorious time, when Li Shigao ordered the Maoshan disciples to rush down to fight, they went without hesitation. Although many people said that the head of Maoshan was abolished, Maoshan also believed that this was due to Maoshan's overwork, which was reasonable, and our head was not a thug.
Since Li Shigao was in the island country, there was not much noise. Li Shigao knew about it when he just came back from the island country, or he knew about it through many channels in the island country, but he was worried about my safety and had not returned to Maoshan to deal with it, so he ran back to Maoshan to deal with it as soon as he returned to China. As for how to deal with it, it was very simple. Li Shigao had been the head for so many years and was already tired of it. Moreover, his strength was indeed not suitable for leading Maoshan, so he went back and wanted to resign as the head of Maoshan and introduce the next head.
The lower-level disciples didn't want to, but the senior elders or some powerful people didn't want Li Shigao to resign as the leader, but they also wanted to become the leader themselves. Those who begged hard were just those who were not qualified to compete for the leader. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
When Li Shigao resigned as the leader, Maoshan became chaotic. Originally, Li Shigao was going to find a suitable leader himself, but he thought that he should not care too much, so he said, a fight, and then a vote. Now if Li Xuxiang returns to Maoshan and those who want to be the leader know about it, who knows if they will do something dirty or be bullied. Although they respect Li Shigao, they are also jealous of the position of leader. If Li Xuxiang shows up, those people will worry whether Li Xuxiang will snatch the position of leader from them.
Anyway, that's about it. I also know that Li Shigao is no longer the head of Maoshan, but he said that he still has a sum of money that is enough for his later life. I nodded. I don't plan to ask Li Shigao for help in the future. He is so old, it's not bad for him and Xiaofang to enjoy their old age in this small city. Although Li Shigao can't recognize his grandson, it's also a kind of happiness to visit him occasionally.
The three of us chatted and returned to Shengtian Lake Community. I looked at Li Shigao who was holding Abao and said, "Old Li, I see you've come to see it too. I have to go back and find a way to find the Seven Star Lantern. I'll leave first."
When Li Shigao heard what I said, he frowned and said, "No, I have to go with you to find the Seven Star Lamp."
I shook my head and said, "Don't be silly, just spend some time with my sister Xiaofang. You've worked so hard for so long, now you can take a good rest for a few years."
After hearing what I said, Li Shigao no longer insisted. He nodded, looked at me and said, "Okay, since you said so, but if you need any help, just give me a call. Don't hesitate."
"Haha, am I the kind of person who can be polite? You can help me keep an eye on my apprentice, but remember to help him solve his problems occasionally. Don't protect him all day long and not let him do anything. People who grow up in a greenhouse can't do that." I reminded Li Shigao. I was also afraid that this guy would worry about my apprentice when he encountered a small ghost in the future, and then run to kill the ghost. Then my apprentice wouldn't even have the chance to practice.
"Okay, I know." Li Shigao patted my shoulder, and suddenly a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes as he said, "I don't know how much time we can spend together in the future. Xiao Jiuzi, the time I spend with you is the happiest time besides the time I spend with Xiaofang. And Cui Xiaozi, I don't know how much time we can spend together in the future."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be so sad. Transportation is so developed now. I can get to your place in one day by plane. I will come to see you often in the future."
Although I said this verbally, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I naturally understood what Li Shigao meant. I could come to visit him often, but it didn't mean I would live here often. For example, if I came to visit him once a month and stayed for one day a month, I would only see him twelve days a year. This is still an exaggeration. Although I don't have a clear goal for the next six months, I know it will be very busy. As for whether I can find the Seven Star Lamp to extend my life after six months, it's still uncertain. And it's also uncertain whether the Seven Star Lamp can work. When Kong Ming was so predictable, he failed when he used the Seven Star Lamp to borrow life from the sky.
It is very likely that I will die in half a year. When my life span is exhausted, I am really dead. Just like Fang Pengguang, he was able to be resurrected because he committed suicide at the beginning. His life span was not exhausted. As long as he still has life span, he can naturally be resurrected. But without life span, he will be miserable. Generally speaking, a person's normal life span is about 70 years old. But there is a more mysterious saying that doing good deeds will increase your life span, and doing bad deeds will reduce your life span. I don’t know if this is reliable. Anyway, in the last six months, I will help old ladies cross the road for an hour when I have nothing to do. I can add an extra hour to serve the old ladies on holidays.
Li Shigao and I hugged each other deeply. Holding this guy who has become an old man, I remembered that we first met in the school in Harbin. This old guy was looking around in the school. It was because I tricked Cui Zuofei that I met him by accident. This is fate. A random little thought at that time exchanged for a lifelong friend. Thinking about how time flies really fast, four or five years have passed in a flash. I am no longer the young boy who just entered the society. I have also matured. When a little girl asks for directions on the street, she will call me uncle.
"Take care, Lao Li."
"Take care, Xiaojiu."
